Miss Trans Global

Founded by Black and Brown British trailblazers, Miss Trans Global uses pageantry as a springboard to champion future trans leaders in the fight for transgender equality. Miss Trans Global is a visionary Organisation dedicated to uplifting and celebrating the diverse spectrum of transgender women and non-binary people. Through our annual events, we provide a transformative platform for self-care, leadership development, and community development. The organisation goes beyond traditional pageantry, by embracing creativity, advocacy, individuality and the amplification of unheard voices of marginalised LGBTIQ+ communities. In 2007, Miss saHHara, a renowned transgender activist and pageant queen, established the Queen of Nations pageant in the UK. A physical event, which celebrated diverse community of transgender women. However, as the 10th anniversary approached in 2017, the team explored the possibility of hosting a digital edition. After extensive consultations with past winners, participants, stakeholders, and fans, they recognised a desire to break new ground rather than simply replicating the past in a digital format. Inspired by these discussions, the team decided to launch a brand new pageant instead. Recognising that "Queen of Nations" was designed as a physical event, they saw an opportunity to create something fresh and innovative for the ever-evolving online landscape. Miss Trans Global as a new venture, captured the spirit of its predecessor while forging its own unique identity in the digital realm, which later became a physical event in 2023. Born from a vision to empower transgender women worldwide, Miss Trans Global created a stage for them to showcase their talents, creativity, and advocacy. Beyond the dazzling spotlight, the organisation has made a tangible impact, raising awareness about the critical challenges faced by transgender women who grapple with family rejection, homelessness, limited job opportunities, healthcare disparities.
